Hope that it does not rain....LOL Actually there is not alot to do short of custom fabricating some kind of cover. The wiper motor is going to stick up quite a bit, if you are running a soft top you have put a drop bracket on the wiper motor and the soft top has a channel that mounts to the top of the windsheild so that helps hide it. I put in the Baja Cage from WH and that meant that I had to get rid of the visors and the cover which makes it an eye sore from inside the vehicle. So I am trying to come up with some type of cover that I could make on my sheetmetal break, with some aluminum, to make it less of an eyesore.

I think http://broncograveyard.com/ sells the wiper motor drop down bracket by itself so you can keep it out of view from the front.

I'd spend the $20 for the drop bracket if you are worried about it or just leave it as is.

Mine sits up on top all high and mighty in view of everyone. (I'm have too many other projects going on right now to worry about installing the drop bracket )

Pass GO and buy a January 2004 copy of Bronco Driver. It lists and show photos of how >- to replace the Ford Bronco OEM wiper with a JC Whitney single speed motor and blade. It is much smaller and will get you thru the legal requirements of most (?) states and well as wipe the rain. I doubt that you are too concerned about the performance since you won't drive far "topless". Sure looks better than the Ford bulky motor and costs less than $50. If you can't find Bronco Driver use JCW # 89ZX4054X and improvise installation using the OEM hole and wiring. OK ??
